This maching works with Windows 8 and has an Intel Atom Z2760 dual-core processor powering a lovely 10.1-inch, 1366 x 768 resolution IPS display.

It's no surprise that ASUS has a few surprises for us in 2013, and we'll no doubt see a range of new tablets from the company shortly.

We talked about the Asus ME172V tablet in the past. Back in late November some benchmarks of the little seven-inch tablet turned up showing that it was only slightly less powerful than the Nexus 7 tablet while offering a significantly cheaper price.

It would appear that a pattern has emerged in the way certain heavy-hitting Google devices are released to the press, this pattern emerging most recently with an ASUS-made tablet that's set to be released in 2013 for $99 USD.

The same thing happened with the Samsung-made Nexus 10 tablet much more recently.

Today may have been all about Apple, but ASUS is here to remind us that Windows 8 is right around the corner.

As it said it would back in September, ASUS just unveiled its smartphone-in-a-tablet PadFone 2 in Taiwan, showing off its sleek design and upgraded specs.

The PadFone 2 features many upgrades over the original PadFone, getting everything right that the original fell short of.

HP's purchase of Palm to get its hands on webOS was doomed from the start. HP was ultimately unable to do anything meaningful with the operating system. Rather than hold onto the defunct operating system, webOS went open source. Open webOS 1.0 is the open-source flavor of the operating system and it has been ported to boot on modern tablet hardware.

With all of this exciting talk about incoming Windows 8 tablets, it's easy for a detail or two to get lost in the crowd. Once such detail that has been generally missing from announcements and previews is pricing. We've seen what these new tablets can do, but it seems that most manufacturers aren't ready to talk about pricing just yet.

We’ve seen the rumors and leaks for months, but now an ASUS executive has all but confirmed that Google will be unveiling a 7-inch Nexus tablet later today.
